POURING SPOUT.

Application led October 25, 1921. Serial No. 510,302.

To all 'ug/wm t may concern.'

Be it known that I, BARNE'rr SrIA'rz, citizen of the United States of America, residing at Buenos Aires, Argentina, have invented a new and useful Pouring Spout; and I do hereby declare the following t0 be a full, clear, and exact description of the same.

The object of the present invention is to provide an improved device which may be applied to a sealed tin vessel or the like or to a bottle or flask for the purpose of decanting the liquid contained therein.

In order that this invention may be clearly understood, certain embodiments thereof are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. l is a perspective view of the device showing its application to an ordinary metal container.

Fi 2 is a longitudinal section of the device illustrated in Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a cross section of the same, following the line (1f-b on Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 is a view of a container (bottle), provided with a rubber closure or cap, which permits the adaptation of the device illustrated in Fig. l, this view being partly sectional of a similar device.

Fig. 5 is a sectional view similar to Fig. 4 showin a pouring device similar to that illustrate in Fig. 1 applied to the closure or cap.

The following refers to the evacuating device shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3.

This device consists of a cylindrical body 1, the lower part of which is of a conical shape and terminates in the point 3, so formed for the purpose of easily perforating the wall of any tin vessel. A washer 4, made of rubber or any other suitable material, is provided at the base of the conic p0rtion 2, for the object of maintaining the evacuating device in close contact with the wall of the vessel duringits application thereto. A. horizontal projection 5 extends outwards from the cylindrical body 1, forming the orifice through which the liquid is evacuated. A. channel 6 is disposed within the cylindrical body 1, beginning at 7 and terminating at 8 where a threaded lid 11 may be provided, as illustrated in Fi 5.

n practice, the operation of my device, for the purpose of attaining thev evacuation pf a liquid contained in a tin vessel, is as folows:

Supporting the device with its pointed end 3 against the wall of the container 9, by

means of any suitable instrument a knock is given on its head 10, whereby the whole portion 2 will be introduced into the vessel and will remain tightly fixed to the wall of the latter by the action of the washer 4. Then, inclinin the vessel in a suitable manner, the liqui therein contained will enter the orifice 7 of the channel 6, flowing through the same and running 'out at 8.

On the other hand, if it should be desired to interrupt the evacuation of the liquid, the threaded lid 11, which is provided at the end 8 of the horizontal projection, may be utilized, whereby the operation may take place at will. e

The following will explain the mode of application of the device illustrated in Fi 4 and 5.

en the application of this evacuating device is intended for glass or similar containers, instead of the ordinary tins, these containers are provided with a special closure consisting of a ring 12, made of rubber, celluloid or any other similar material, and which is adapted to the neck of the bottle, fitting tightly around the same; the upper part of the ring 12 has a reduced portion 14, adapted for the lixation of a cap 15 which occludes the ring 12 and which, consequently, prevents the liquid from running out of the container or bottle 16, in case the same is upset.

As it will be understood, when the cap 15 has been fixed to the container, it will be impossible to evacuate or change the liquid therein contained without detection. l

The evacuating device illustrated in Fig. 5, is a slight modification of the device represented in Figs. 1 and 2 and consists of exactly the same elements, indicated by like characters of reference.

The evacuating device is utilized, in combination with this closure, in the following manner Approximately the pointed end 3 of the evacuating device to the disc 15, and exertin a pressure on said device, the disc 15 will tion 2 to pass through until the washer 4, which is located within the groove 17 and forms part of the body 1, contacts with the e perforated allowing the conic porl,

disc 15. Now the device is applied ready for use and, inclining the bottle, the liquid will enter the orifice 7, flowing through the channel 6 and out of the orifice 8.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A pouring spot for vessels comprising a cylindrical body having a conical sharppointed'integrally formed cutting end portion, an integral driving head at the opposite end, and an integral right-angled lateral projectionI adjacent said last mentioned end, an integral annular shoulder on said body at the base of said conical end portion, and a washer of resilient material arranged on said conical end portion against sai shoulder and adapted to lie a inst the outer surface of the vessel .to w ich said spout is applied, said body having an out- 2o let channelvtherein which opens at one end throu h said conical end portion and at the ot er end through the end of said lateral projection.

In testimony whereof I have signed my 25 name to this specification in the presence of i two subscribing witnesses.
